Statistics

Counted so far: 488 events.24920 speakers in total, 6606 of which were women. That is 26.51 percent.

Why?

50 percent, that's half of it. Women make up roughly half of the world's population. But they rarely make up half the participant on discussion panels, on the microphone, in talk show or conferences. "50 Prozent" documents, how many women* there are.

*Women meaning everyone, who sees herself as a woman.

Hands-on

Everyone who is into counting women* and men at events is invited to record their results directly here on the page using the form "Add new event".

You can also count via Twitter: just tweet the total amount of speakers and the amount of participating women together with the event's name and URL, and add the hashtag #50prozent.
